Have you ever written something that's really shaken you up?

Like, you've sat down and began writing a scene at your computer, and it's just taken you to a place you really didn't want to go?

I have.

I've just spent the past couple of days pouring my heart and soul into something massive, and now I'm scared half to death that it's not going to get the job done. I mean, f**k. I don't pour my heart and soul into anything anymore. Why this? Why now? Jesus Christ. Where the hell did this all come from, anyway? I thought my parents had bought emotions, straight off the rack at Ikea, and somehow lost the instructions along the way.

My fragility's supposed to be in a flat-pack, buried in my parents' garage.

And now suddenly, I need a 'handle with care' sticker.

What a f**ked up day I've had.
